THIS vicious taste of a tornado in

Tun way the soutli is ruined by pro

greater in the iron and ether industries.

Members of the people's party justify
Iho now political organization by assort
ing that there is no essential difference
between the old parties ; that ono Is just
as wrong and just as objectionable as the
othor. When men's prejudices become
HO radical and deep-seated as to blind
thorn to the indisputable facts of history
as well as to present conditions
the task of attempting to mnko them
see clearly is a very difficult and hardly
over a profitable ono , so far as they are
concerned. Hut It may prove to bo val
uable in preventing others from becom
ing equally blind and falling into their
errors.
The man who can see no essential dif
ference between the party which gave
the country the policies which have
resulted in tlio unexampled progress of
the past quarter of a century and the
political organization which has per
sistently fought those policies at every
step nnd is still arrayed against them is
either unpardonably ignorant or wil
fully blind. Every pledge tint wns
mudo in the first platform of the repub
lican party has been redeemed , and not
ono of them has f.xilod to encounter the
opposition of the democratic party.
Every republican plan for sustaining
tlio credit of tlio nation , for keeping the
currency on a sound basis , for promot
ing the domestic and foreign commerce
of the country , aim for building up homo
industries , has mot with the uncompro
mising hostility of the domoer.toy. The
one party has boon steadily progressive ,
the ether as sto.idily reactionary. Tlio
ono has battled constantly for the nd-
vancemont of American interests , the
othnr has fought persistently fora- policy
inimical to those interests.
This ditToronco in the two old parties
exists today. Tlio republican party pro
poses to move forward on the lines that
lead to greater Industrial and commor-
ri il power , adding to the wealth of the
nation by stimulating the development
of its resources and thereby Increasing
the prosperity , comfort and huppinoss
of all the people. The democratic party
denounces the policies which have these
ends as their object as a fraud and a
sham , and proposes to strike down the
American system of protection anil the
principle of reciprocity under which
the foreign commerce of the country has
been increased to the extent of many
millions of dollars. The republican
party maintains that it is the right and
the duty of the government to foster
homo industries by a reasonable meas
ure of protection. For the ilrst time in
our history this policy is declared by
the democratic party to bo unconstitu
tional. European nations have uc.
knowledged the wisdom of reciprocity
by making highly valuable concessions ,
which could not have been obtained
without it , yet tlio democratic party do.
nounces that nggrossivo and already
very profitable policy as a humbug and
threatens its abandonment if the party
should get into power.
From the beginning of its career the
republican party has shown an earnest
and practical solicitude for the welfare
of the whole oeoplo , and while it will
not bo claimed that it has nr.ulo no mis
takes , since no party can bo infallible ,
the progress of the country under its
administration of affairs amply and con
clusively attests the wisdom of its poli
cies ana principles. It is still imbued
with the sumo zeal and solicitude for
the material advancement of the nation
which have distinguished it in the past ;
Hstill believes that American interests
should be the first concern of an Ameri
can political party , regardless of the ef
fect upon the interests of any other coun
try ; it still holds that the preservation
of the national credit and the welfare of
every Interest , particularly these of the
farmer and the laborer , require a sound
nnd stable currency , every dollar of
which , whether of silver , gold or paper ,
shall bo at all times equal ; it believes iu
maintaining the dignity and honor of
the nation at homo and abroad , and pro
tecting the rights and interests of
American citizens in every land. In all
these respects the republican differs
from the domocrntic.'party , nnd they con
stitute a dilTorcnco which every intelli
gent and patriotic citizen must regard
as of tht > very highest importance.

Ill one particular at least the impend
ing presidential campaign promises to bo
creditable to the American people. It
will not bo a campaign of mud-slinging
or personal abuse. What has already
been said by the political opponents of
President Harrison nriy bo taken abj
fairly indicating the line of attack to
which the democrats will chiefly devote
themselves , while the democratic nomi
nee is certain to bo treated by the
republicans according to the rules of
civilized warfare.
It Is evident that the democrats do
not hope to win by personal attacks
upon the president. Thus far einco his
nomination they have only assailed his
administration , and that mainly on the
ground that It has fostered the pro
tective principle against which the
democracy has arrayed itself. lloro
and there a silly attack has been made
upon the republican nominee because
his grandfather und some ether ances
tors w.iro distinguished men , but this is
not a serious charge. IIo Is not to beheld
held accountable for the fact that ho
belongs to a distinguished family , and
wo do not bollovo that it would hurt his
candidacy if it were shown that everyone
ono of his progenitors was as distin
guished as ho is himself.
Not much will bo said upon that point
by the men who will cut out the wont of
the campaign on the democratic side.
It is to bo a campaign of principles on
the ono sldo and of opposition to princi
ples , on the ether ; that Is , the ropubll-
c'.nswill light ( or the maintenance of
the policy of protection and reciprocity ,
and democrats will attempt to break
down that policy. The latter will neces
sarily employ misrepresentation to ac
complish their purpose , but if the literature -
aturo of the democratic campaign bureau
contains nothing more objectionable
than that the contest will at least be a
clean ono. It is wicked to dlssemlnato
falsehood , but the public will bo gener
ous enough to mitko some allowance for
a party thr.t Is destitute of legitimate
munitions of war.
The country should congratulate itself
upon the prospect of a decent and
orderly campaign , and upon the brlcht
outlook for the triumph of principles
that have done so much for the pros
perity of the country.
TUK AMKltlOMi OCIOVU * .
At the meeting of the British trade
congress the ether day Sir Charles
Tuppor , the Canadian commissioner ,
spoke against the motion recommending
the adoption by tlio English colonies of
the free trade policy of Great Britain
and In the course of his remarks Indi
cated very plainly his antagonism to the
United States. There were risks , ho
said , of the octopus America throwing
its tentacles over the West Indie * nnd
the Snanlsh Antilles with Iho view to
driving out British trade , and It was
going to do so. British consuls reported
that Great Britain had lost Brazil
and that America wns getting hold
under her reciprocity system. Ameri
cans , ho declared , did English commerce
more harm than did the MeKinloy tariff
in their efforts to drlvo England out of
the southern hemisphere. They at
tacked Canada , also , ho said , under iho
mistaken idea that by imposing a duty
upon the products tor which they are
Canada's natural market they can bring
Canadian producers to their knees and
louvo Canada no alternative but to be
come part of the United States.
It would seem as If Sir Charles has
allowed himself to become unnecessarily
excited over the "octopus America"
and the danger that threatens Great
Britain. The idea that the annexation
of Canada is a project dear to the hearts
of the American people is especially ab
surd. Wo want all the benefits that
can bo gained for our commerce by. the
policy of reciprocity , hut the length
and greed of the tentacles which the
American octopus is stretching out
towards the fields controlled by Great
Britain is exaggerated. However , it is
interesting nnd somewhat suggestive to
witness the agitation of Sir Charles Tap
per on this subject. His feeling towards
this country is that of a very largo
number of Canadians who are stung by
jealousy und filled with groundless fears
of being swallowed whole.

The strange and unaccountable idol
atry that sot up Grover Cleveland as
the only man of true greatness in the
democratic party was largely instru
mental in bringing about his nomina
tion at Chicago , but it appears that his
party is not disposed to rely much upon
public appreciation of his greatness ns a
source of strength in this compaign.
For the purposes of the preliminary
contest the overshadowing stature of
the man was useful , but now that the
case has been submitted to the people
the need of showing that Mr. Cleveland
represents some great Idea and stands
for some essential public interest is be
ginning1 to bo folt.
The name of the ox-prosldont was ono
to conjure with in the convention that
nominated him , not because ho had over
proven himself a great statesman , but
because ho stood out in a halo of glory
upon the pages of democratic history as
the only presidential candidate of that
party who had been elected in nearly
forty years. It was a great distinction
to occupy that proud position and the
glory of it was so great that the defeat
of Mr. Cleveland four years ago wns
utterly forgotten. But the democrats
are becoming more serious nnd practical
now. Then they talked about the man ;
now they art ) talking about issues , nnd
say that rnoir do not count for much
after all.
The truth is that the democrats are
alarmed by the strong contrast between
President Harrison , representing meas
ures and policies whoso fruits are before
the eyes of the people , and Mr. Cleve
land , who represents a policy of experi
ment upon lines directly opposed to a
system that has wonderfully promoted
the Interests of business the only Inter
est that can command the attention of
the people in a period of peace. Instead
of pointing to their candidate's services
in behalf of nubile interests and to the
fruits of the policy of free trade which
ho represents , they are reduced to the
necessity of trying to prove that a pro
tective tariff is robbery and that free
trade is a blessing.
Tills will bo a wearing campaign upon
the democrats. It is hard work to con
vince a contented and prosperous people -
plo that they stand in need of such
swooping changes as are proposed. A
keen realization of this fact is apparent
now and hence wo hoar many demo
cratic moulders of public thought pro
claiming that issues are important and
that men are of little consequence. Men
are of decided conpequonco when they
occupy the attitude in which President
Harrison .now appnars before the public.
IIo stands for something that is , not
something that is to bo made the subject
of experiment. The man and his works
are inseparably assDciatod , and no argu
ment is required to prove that his re
election will mean a continuance of the
policy of the present administration.

Tlio foreign reader of the preamble to
the declaration of principles enunciated
by the people's party must conclude
that the American people are in an extremely -
tromoly unfortunate and unhappy con
dition. Intelligent American readers ,
familiar with the facts , will not need to
bo told that the statements made by the
now party are for the most part mis
representations of the political and
material conditions of the country.
It is not true that the nation is on the
verge of ruin of any kind , the fact being -
ing that the general prosporlty of the
country , as shown by the official statis
tics of domostia and foreign commerce ,
has rarely In our history boon higher
than at present. Not in a number of
years has the agricultural Interest 03-
poolally , upon which tlio now party re
lics for its principal support , boon more
properoua than It Is now.
It is not unqualifiedly true that cor
ruption dominates the ballot box.
Within the last two years thirty odd
states have adopted laws providing for
a secret ballot , reducing corruption in
ouch status to the minimum. Thorn are
localities in which corruption and In
timidation are still practiced , but not to
such an extent as to warrant the swoop
ing charge of the people's party plat
form.
It is not true that the people , with
the exception of these who are identi
fied with the noxV fdlltieal organization ,
are domorallzed. On.thc contrary there
is ns general popular contentment now as
nt any ether porlWd in the country's his
tory , and a groat,5q4 of the demoraliza
tion that exists is duo to conditions beyond -
yond the roach o/pblltical or legislative
remedies. No one \vll ( say that there Is
not room for reform 'and improvement ,
but a great innn/of these who are loud
est in their complaints owe much of
their dllllcullies to themselves.
So we might go on'showing that most
of the statements' ' in tlio preamble to Iho
people's party platform are wholly un
warranted by the ppesont condition of
affairs In the country at largo , and tha * .
they consequently put the American
pcoplo In a false position before the
world and tend to bring ropuuUcun insti
tutions into reproach.
As to the platform , It Is in all essen
tial respects a roalllrmallon of tno prin
ciples formulated at the St Louis con
ference lust February , with which the
public bus boon made familiar. It de
mands a currency issued by tlio govern
ment nnd distributed directly to the
poonlo at a tax not to exceed U per cent
per annum ; favors the free and unlim
ited coinage of both gold anil silver at
the present ratio of dixloon to ono ; de
mands the increase of the circulating
medium to not loss than $50 per capita ;
favors a graduated income tax and government -
ornmont ownership of all railroads and
of the telegraph and telephone systems.
Such are the leading features of the
platform proper , In addition to1 which
resolutions were adopted declaring in
favor of a free ballot and a fair count , to
bo secured without federal interference
through the general adoption by the
states of the secret ballot system ; de
manding the further restriction of un-
dostrabto immigration ; sympathizing
with the efforts of organized workingmen -
men to shorten the hours of labor ; call
ing for the abolition of the Pinkorlon
system , and favoring a constitutional
amendment limiting the ofilco of presi
dent nnd vice president to ono term and
providing for the election of senators by
direct vote of the people.
Some of these propositions will have
the approval of all citizens , but tlio im
practicable financial ideas of the pee
ple's party will pxcludo from it every
body who has an intelligent understand
ing of sound monetary principles.
THE statistics which have boon pub
lished in THIS 13KB showing the progress
of the packing industry of South Omaha
are very gratifying to everybody inter
ested in the growth of that valuable aid
to the prosperity of this section. They
give assurance that .with access to terri
tory that ought now to bo tributary to
South Omaha , and wjhich will become so
when the Nebraska Central project is
consummated , that packing center will
easily become thesedondin the country.
The enterprising inon engaged in this
industry here are fully alive to their op
portunity and will bo11 ready to take the
largest possible advantage of it. There
can bo no doubt regarding the continued
progress of the Magip City , so far as the
packing industry can contribute to its
advance.
THE next interesting event for Omaha ,
which will do quite as much as any that
has occurred to extend the fame of this
city , will bo the visit of the Shrinors
and the commandorios of Knights
Templar in August. Arrangements arose
so nearly perfected for the entertain
ment of the visiting Masons that it can
bo said they will bo most hospitably
cared for. They will remain in the city
several days , and there is every reason
to expect that their sojourn will bo ono
of the most memorable events of this
eventful year for Omaha.
THE Omaha Weekly Ifepu&Ii'cctn , which
had been kept up as a reminiscence of
the defunct paper founded by Colonel
E. D. Webster and foundered by J. C.
Wilcox , has passed in its chocks and
been superseded by the Weekly Omaha
Public , which is to bo devoted to the
cause of the new national party. Like
every ether newspaper venture our con
temporary comes to fill a long-felt want
and is hero to stay , with tlmo of staying
not specified.
TUB Fourth of July is a good day "to
bo born on , but you can't always fix such
trilling matters as birthdays and birth
places. George Francis Train came all
the way from Australia to Boston thirty
years ago to give his prospective boy a
chunco to bo born on American soil and
become president some day. But the
boy turned out to bo a girl. This is an
actual fact For further particulars ask
Mayor Bemis , who was Train's private
secretary.
Tim fact that the school census of
Omaha shows a largo increase in the
number of school children is suggestive
of several things , but chiefly of the wis
dom of keeping up a steady progress in
the extension and improvement of the
educational facilities of Iho city.
MAN proposes but God disposes. The
St. Louis conclave fixed the number of
delegates at 1,770 to correspond with iho
date of American independence , but the
committee on credentials has failed to
discover more tljjirt ' 1.H50 delegates , In
cluding alternates.
THIS AtchiBoriiG/oae / says that twice as
much wine is drfiiik { n that Kansas town
as last yoar. TjlltHis another amusing
blunder. Kansas' Is a prohibition state
and no wlno of yoaureo Is drunk in the
stato. The Oloba > probably refers to
Waukesha water" ; <
TUB World's f/ifr'pooplo / have made a
reorganization. There Is a lack of
unity about the method of conducting
business which creates uneasiness as to
the success of the exposition.
TIIK error of the people's party lies in
presuming that all who openly oppose
their plans nro enemies of. the farmer
and worklngnian , They do not give
their opponents credit for an honest
dilforonco of opinion.

Simpson contends that if it had not boon for

bill would have fnllod to pass.
, IIo thinks Kyle woulfl carry South

peculiar coincidence that Kyle novcr
belonged to the alliance , hns not

The department has tolouraphod to

Attention was today called to the fact tbat
